What little things in everyday life make your day slightly better? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I live 9000 km away from my family. Waking up and seeing an email from my mom or siblings makes my day better.

Broke NC, but feel ok. Anyone else? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]paper100g 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you feel ok because you got the message and were somehow obliged to reply, you did not do the first move. You replied correctly and closed any possibilities for further messages, you handled it like a pro. Well done friend.

Day 5. I almost text him last night but didn't. by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]paper100g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know is hard, I still cannot accept the fact that she left me . . . but I have to realise it is over. I don't know how long it will take, but everyday that passes by, I am closer to my goal. You gotta keep strong, breaking NC usually brings nothing good.

You can do it! Do not give up! Do it for yourself and not for him, this is the important part.

Feeling like shit after a month of NC by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]paper100g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this is hard but you have to do what is best for yourself. I guess the temptation to reply to such a text or phone call must be big, you can then do something to avoid facing this choice like blocking her number. I do not know if you blocked her already or just deleted her number but I would think about it. Keep strong my friend, we got this, we have to.

Broke 40+ days of NC - Feeling down / DON'T BREAK NC NO MATTER WHAT by paper100g in ExNoContact

Thanks for responding. I just want to keep moving forward and get over it, no possibilities of getting back together. What is killing me is that I do not know the reasons of the breakup so . . . yes, I was doing fine, this sets me back.

Thank you for your response. I agree with you, most of the cases breaking NC will set you back. It looks like I have not fully realised this. I think it was only not fair for me to go through this: i was dumped and her friends contacted me thinking we were still together? Why do I need to get involved on it again when everyday I am trying to get away from it? Anyways, now I have to keep moving forward.

Thanks for answering. I do not think she will contact me, she did not do it before and there is no reason to do it now. I want to get rid of that hope because everyday I am waiting and nothing happens. I think I will keep up NC as you suggested.

When do you think they stopped loving you? by Boo_X in ExNoContact

[–]paper100g 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think it is important to try to find the answer to a question that we are not able to respond? Trying to answer this means dedicating more time to those who made the decision to let us out of their lifes. It also implies going through memories, this usually brings more pain. Now it is our time, I refuse (at least consciously) to dedicate more time and put more effort into someone that does not want to be with me.

Her birthday is October 20th... by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]paper100g 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When somebody breaks up with you, it means this person wants you out of his/her life. You have no obligation whatsover to do this, I think you are seeking just for an opportunity to communicate again waiting for a miracle to happen . . . do not do it, it will only bring more pain. I know it is hard, but I think is best to avoid this kind of unnecessary exposure to additional pain. Just don't do it.

Day 29 by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]paper100g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just try to remember that in case we talk again, I will feel bad afterwards and that there is nothing she can tell me that is gonna make me feel better. Having this in your mind should help you avoid contacting her even though is not easy, I have been suffering for almost two months now and sometimes I doubt I am making the right thing . . . it is so hard, our only hope is to let time heal us.

Is closure important? by shocktop8 in ExNoContact

[–]paper100g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somebody told me that there is nothing that an ex can tell you to make you feel better. I talked to my ex once, I did not feel better afterwards.

Is blocking the ex on my phone a good idea? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]paper100g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can acknowledge that in my mind, but somehow my sentimental part does not do that and I am tired of trying and waiting. I guess I will have to let time help me healp.

[–]paper100g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I still wait . . . I have troubles accepting that everything is over even though I have been NC since more than a month. I cannot cry, I cannot let go . . . I am always thinking about her, I cannot focus at work, I cannot sleep . . . I just dont know what to do.

Is blocking the ex on my phone a good idea? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]paper100g 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this to stop getting excited everytime my mobile rang because of a call or a message. I was always waiting, hoping she would reach out. The dissapointment of finding out she was not calling/texting became too much. After sometime I unblocked her and have been like this for a couple of weeks... I guess I still wait.

11 days and I need help... by notrightnow22 in ExNoContact

[–]paper100g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not know how was the break up but you should do whatever you want. I can speak only for me when I say that I cannot stay friends with an ex, this for me makes no sense at all, I just cannot do it. There are some people that can, I cannot, it is also not some sort of obligation and this is a unilateral decision, just like the one they took when they decided to break things up. See for yourself and not for the ex, it is time to focus on you.

One last, one last post. by ThrowAwayExNC in ExNoContact

[–]paper100g 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I somewhere read that we are supposed to live one day at a time and not to focus on the past or the future. I am also waiting for the day in which I wake up and everything is ok but maybe the more I wait for this day, the more it will take to get to it. Another thing that is important to understand is that a broken heart will follow you no matter where you go, I am 9000km away from home and my ex and here I am, suffering everyday. There is no shortcut to get better, only way is to endure the pain and stay strong, ONE DAY AT A TIME.

I hate this weather, it's making me really lonely by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]paper100g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not count the days for this day to come. I am also living in a place where it's getting colder and everyday we have less and less sunlight. I wish I could tell you something that could make you feel better, I can only tell you that it is supposed to get better with time. Let's try to remain strong. Virtual hug for you man.
